POWER STEERING-As an
option
available on Pontiac
cars,
Power
Steering is becoming increasingly popular .each year. Pontiac Power
Steering is designed
so
that the driver
still
retains the feel of the
road.
Power Steering comes into action only when the effort required to turn
the front wheel reaches a pre-determined number of pounds pull on
the rim of the steering wheel. The effort required of the driver does not
increase over a set maximum even under such full load conditions as
parking.
Pontiac owners do not have to develop
a
new "feel" or become
"accus-
tomed" to Pontiac Power Steering. Even on
snow
or ice the
"feel"
is
the
same
as that of a car equipped with standard
steering since
the
force required to turn the wheels, under these conditions, is well below
that which makes the power steering operative.
Power steering offers these important safety advantages; reduces
fatigue on long trips, minimizes chances of losing control of the car
from a tire blowout, and almost instantaneously overcomes the wheel
drag experienced with
standard
'
s teering
when a car is driven in heavy
sand, loose gravel or onto a
soft
shoulder.
POWER WINDOW LIFTS-All vertical mov-
.' ing windows
are
controlled both from a four
position switch located in the left front door
panel
and
by individual switches on each
window.
The first and third buttons control the left hand front and rear win-
dows respectively, while the
second
and fourth buttons control the
right hand front and rear windows respectively. Pontiac window lifts
may be operated with or without the ignition
on.
INSIDE REAR VIEW NON-GLARE TILT MIRROR-The inside
tilt mirror basically has two adjustments or
positions.
A finger tab at
the bottom center of the mirror permits
easy adjustment
to the night
time non-glare driving position. The mirror position is indicated by
words NIGHT or DAY in white letters on the respective tabs. The
